So, NACFest is a lock for Carol and I this year, but I cant just sit around the rest of the time...here's two options: >>
#1...I've previously run a weekender with the Tidewater4Wheelers out of Virginia at Oak Ridge Estates.It's a 3 day run with mostly mild wheeling with some tough obstacles scattered throughout.They have a sat. nite dinner/bbq/bonfire and an awesome raffle. Great group of people and a big turnout, all held on a very old and very exclusive southern plantation property (this is the one time of year they open it to jeeps, solely to get their equestrian trails cut back for them)...I had a hell of a good time here, check it out if you get the chance.
#2....My granddad used to have a hunting cabin in Jackman, Maine that we would go to every summer when I was a kid. His idea of a good time was taking us all into the logging trails after sundown and wandering aimlessly in his early Bronco all night, and I'll never ever forget the first time we rounded a corner in the pitch black and there stood a bear or moose...craziness. I've found a few campgrounds around the Long Pond/ Moosehead lake area, and am considering a trip there to relive my youth...Theres plenty of camping, fishing, and I imagine wheeling there too....
I'm asking for honest opinions on these and also looking to guage whether there is any interest from other members in this...the Va. run isnt posted yet, but should be early September...If I go for Maine, it would be late August...
So Whatcha think?
